As of Monday\'s premarket, shares have climbed 16 percent since the release of the latest earnings report on Oct. 24, but they are still trading below $10 a share, while GM\'s shares hover around $38 a share.

Its South American business has not made money for years, and Ford said in late October that its businesses in China and Europe had \"deteriorated.\" This contrasts with GM, which sold off its European business and is doing rather well in China.
To be sure, Ford is taking action to reverse its fortunes.
The company has separated its China business from its Asia-Pacific segment and hired an executive to run just that region. Ford\'s primary problem in China has been an inabili...
